convicted manslaughterer doesn't sound right, but I don't think convicted murderer is correct since murder is different than manslaughter.

3. I think "felon" would be good
Im pretty sure that all manslaughter convictions are felonies.

5. well yes, felon would apply…
but murder & rape are felonies, and people convicted of those crimes are not referred to under the generic title "convited felon".

8. But it is not always a crime is it?
If I picked up a gun and it went off and killed someome is that something I can walk away from? * wife killed someone in a car and she gets called nothing and did she have to go to court? My sister's boss jumped a stop sign and ran into a car and a women died. That was not a crime. This type stuff never is clear to me. It is all over the place.
